there is a brighter future for you maybe
you just need to learn something so go
get the book today I am Mike Todd comm
and join this message as we all win in
the light
I believe God is doing something good in
this series I don’t know about you but
if this is your first time tuning in we
want to say welcome I’m gonna let you
know that the name of this series is
relationshipgoals reloaded and I am
loaded and ready to help you win in all
of your relationships if you are just
now joining us we are in mid-flight what
does that actually mean that means we’ve
been going for two weeks already and
I’ve started a sermon series and I’m
doing part two of it today and I just
want to let you know if you have not
watched last week’s message you need to
go back and watch it because I got so
much more revelation that I can’t go
back and go through every detail of it
but I’m gonna try to give you a quick
rewind so that we can get into the
revelation that God has for us today if
you’re ready I need to see it in the
comments say I’m ready I’m watching
right now where you’re watching from I
somebody say I’m ready come on okay I
hear some people saying I’m ready we
have people right now watching from
California we have people right now
watching from New Jersey
we have people right now watching from
Houston from London from oh my goodness
from Kenya what time is it in Kenya
right now wherever you’re watching from
God wants you to win in relationships
say that out of your mouth say god wants
me to win in relationships somebody
needs to say it one more time somebody
say God wants me to win in relationships
if you believe that then you have to put
God at the front of all your
relationships he has to be the one in
front beside behind and all around all
of your relationships and today that’s
why I came up with this message title
called rip the list because most of us
have a list that we have made without
God most of us have a list of how we
want our relationships to be what time
we want our relationships to start how
we want to be in on business and in
success and all this other stuff and
what I found is that a lot of people are
frustrated in their life right now
because your list does not look like
God’s list for you and whenever you
start trying to function out of your
list what ends up happening is you use a
lot of effort and energy that produces
no results and and what happens is it’s
what I call the equation of frustration
and I want to give it to you right now
because the equation of frustration is
fabricated expectations things that you
made up things that you wrote on a dream
board and never prayed about things that
you said that that that just sounded
good but had no value in the the life of
your purpose fabricated expectations +
failed realities equal feelings of
frustration and instead of us being
frustrating that Kovan 19 happened
instead of us being frustrated that that
person walked out of our life what we
are saying to God is here is my list and
everything are made up without you I am
now ripping up the list and somebody
needs to put that in the comments right
now say rip the list and I’m telling you
I saw people all last week with tears in
their eyes ripping up the list
ripping up expectations that they made
things that would be great but aren’t
God’s best for us and today I’m asking
some of you to do the same thing coz
some of y’all risk that ripped up a few
things on your list but today there will
be a full surrender coz if you want to
see what God has for you you have to let
go of what you have for you I just said
a mouthful if you
what God has for you for your
relationships for your marriage for your
singleness for your time even now that
you’re single again after a divorce or
whatever relational status you’re in you
have to let go of what is in your hand
and we started looking at the life of
Joseph because Joseph had a dream and
you can follow it all in Genesis chapter
37 but Joseph having a dream
and part of Joseph’s dream is that one
day he would be in a place of rulership
a palace it would be in his purpose and
what what Joseph probably did like a
bunch of us do when God gives us a word
or gives us a dream we we say alright so
I’m going from here to here it’s gonna
be smooth sailing but I want you to see
what Joseph lists look like see Joseph’s
lists look like oh I got a dream now I’m
gonna get support I’m gonna have
opportunity and then I’m gonna get a
promotion and it’s on to the palace but
just like many of us in our
relationships and our business in our
life and our money the dream that we
want the list that we make does it look
like the life that we live and that’s
where frustration comes in do you know
what actually happened in Joseph’s life
he had a dream it was from God he had a
word from God but then he was betrayed
by his brothers he was sold into slavery
for 25 pieces of of coin and then he was
put into prison and lied on but then he
still got the palace which encourages
somebody right now no matter where
you’re at in your relational life right
now no matter where your business is I’m
getting happy already no matter where
you’ve been and what you’ve been doing
God can still deliver you to the palace
or your purpose even if you’re currently
in a pen and somebody came to hear that
today because what’s happening with your
money is a pit what’s happening with
your relationship and your marriage is a
pit what’s happening with your kids is a
pit and God says I’m the God who takes
people from pits to palaces
somebody needs to hear that right now I
have not left you I have not forsaken
you
but you gotta figure out
why it’s important to stop making up
plans without me
rip the list when you rip your list it
changes everything let me give you the
point that summarizes everything we
talked about last week rip your list
because God is more committed to your
destiny than he is to your desires
somebody needs to hear me say that so
clearly I know you got a bunch of
desires but he don’t care about your
desires more than he cares about your
destiny before you were formed in your
mother’s womb he marked you he put a
destiny in your DNA and he’s saying do
you want what you want or do you want
what I want for you that I know will
fulfill you and that’s why when we look
at our relationships we got to really
put them on the chopping block
is this something my wall or is this
something that God wants for me that
will be able to help me reach my destiny
the business that you’re about to start
right now you’re about to go live on
your own your business today right after
church is this something that God wants
or was this a counterfeit way of
producing for yourself because you don’t
trust God will take care of you in the
midst of a pandemic uh-oh like like all
I’m asking you is will you rip up your
list put the pit graphic up there
because somebody needs to see this right
now um where we find Joseph today is we
find him in prison but how did he get
there he started off with the dream
betrayed by his brothers fail got sold
into slavery started producing success
in a season where he was supposed to be
enslaved which tells me that no matter
what season you’re in right now if you
serve the season you can still find
success somebody needs to hear me say
this if you’re single you can be
successful without anybody else if
you’re married in that season if you
serve it well you can be successful if
you’re divorced and you’re waiting to
rebuild and do something you can be
successful in any season Joseph was in a
pit and was still bossing
what I’m telling you is there no excuse
for what God can do in your life if you
would surrender to his plan but then he
catches the case with a cougar she lies
on him and said he was trying to sleep
with him y’all read the Bible is so good
and now Joseph is thrown in the Royal
prison and that’s where we’re gonna pick
up this thing today Genesis chapter 40
it goes through this story where he’s
sitting in jail and if it was me sitting
in jail for something I didn’t do
I would be pissed now just think about
it go with me it’s a movie I’m sitting
in jail like I know that heifer did not
lie on me she don’t know me I ain’t even
get nothing
I should have water I better doesn’t
that what it sounds like when sometimes
you’re in a place where you never
thought you would be and you start going
I should I would I coulda but but I’m
glad Joseph was there and not me because
something that Joseph learned being in
bad situations over and over again and
why he ripped up his list earlier in his
life is he said I’m not going to
concentrate why I’m here or what what
got me here but I’m gonna concentrate on
what God’s trying to do in me while I’m
here
hear me not what got me here but what is
God trying to do while I’m here and I
wouldn’t have had the guts to do what
Joseph did but he started helping people
in prison he served the season that was
unfair he still came to it with the
right attitude and I don’t know about
you but some of us have been missing
what God wants to do in the season where
we’re at right now cuz we got the wrong
attitude going into it I can’t stand
this job I can’t stand these people I
can’t stand this family and God said you
missing it if you don’t go ahead and rip
up your list right now you’re going to
miss what I want to do and because
Joseph came to the prison with the right
right attitude there was a night when
the Kings cut bearer and the Kings Baker
got thrown in a
I don’t know what type of harsh times
these were but if you get thrown in jail
for bacon and tasting the drink it’s
ridiculous out here they get thrown in
jail and they both have a dream now I
want you to watch this you got to go
back and read this whole thing because
I’m paraphrasing like five chapters of
the Bible right now they both have a
dream and Joseph serves people in the
same position he’s in he doesn’t serve
people that can help him he serves
people on his level see part of serving
the season that you’re in I feel the
Spirit of God coming on me right now
part of you serving the season that
you’re in is not serving people who can
take you to the next level it’s serving
people that God places in front of you
and he begins to serve those people and
and he interprets their dream he said
yeah um cup bearer in three days um
you’re gonna get restored back to your
position and everything’s gonna be good
so don’t worry
and then the Baker was like can you tell
him about my dream he was like yeah bro
this is a little more uh tragic for you
um in three days they’re gonna throw a
party they’re gonna call you up and you
think you’re going to the next level
they gonna kill you and the Bible says
it happens just as Joseph said now III
think about this because at this moment
if I’m Joseph I’m like yo the dude that
I helped that’s gonna get put back in
his his next level and he’s Bros with
the King maybe he can put in a good word
for me maybe the relationship I formed
right here is the relationship that I
need to go to the next level and so look
what happens in Genesis chapter 40 verse
23 I love the Bible
Farrell’s chief cupbearer after Joseph
said hey don’t forget about me look what
it says his cup bearer however forgot
all about Joseph never giving him
another thought and then look what it
goes Genesis 41 verse 1 2 full years
later
what happens when you are faithful but
you still got forgotten oh I’m coming to
help you
because many of us have not ripped up
the list and we’re bitter now because we
were faithful in the season and somebody
still forgot about us
we were faithful I know if you’re just
joining us like it seems like he’s
already in go back and watch the other
one but there’s some of us that have
been faithful in the last season some of
us who prayed some of who gave up the
big higher paying job some of us who
stayed in the place where we were under
valued and we now are forgotten about
but we were faithful that’s why I’m
encouraging you right now not to focus
on being forgot about the only way that
you can focus on not being forgot about
is you remember who loves you I’m going
for your heart at this whole first
moment the reason why you rip up the
list is because you’re loved even when
you feel left behind you need to write
this down the only thing that could
incre Joseph in this season is that the
Bible says it so many times and God was
with Joseph and God was with Joseph and
God was with Joseph and I don’t know who
you’re who I’m talking to and what your
name is but God was with you and he was
with you when you were hurt he was with
you when you are abandoned he was with
you when you were broken and he is with
you now somebody put it in the trap God
is with me somebody came here on
Mother’s Day to hear it God is with you
and you are loved you are loved even
when you feel left behind every mother
out here I need you to realize that it’s
not in your performance it’s not in your
performance that God is grading you
before you had kids I don’t know
somebody needs this ministry right now
before you had kids before you had a
husband before you slept with that man
and now you’re the baby mama and all
these labels and stuff have been trying
to be put on you
I hear God’s saying I loved you and I
knew it was going to happen
I loved you and I saw you after it
happened I loved you and the love of God
is the theme that will hold you steady
when others forget about you I need
somebody to hear me right now you’ve
been waiting for somebody to come back
and apologize you’ve been waiting for
somebody to tell you you’re worth it and
God said when I stretched out my arms on
the cross I was looking at you baby I
was looking at you brother and I thought
you were worth it and that was my love
for God so loved the world that He gave
and I just need somebody to hear me say
it right now you need to get the
revelation that Joseph had and the thing
that allowed him to rip up his list is
he knew he was loved
even when he was forgot about that’s the
only way you can hold on to years after
being forgot about this wasn’t two days
or two weeks he told them three days bro
you won’t get out remember me bro was
like I know I’m supposed to remember
something but Oh food like and he just
forgot about it two years goes by but
the only anchor was the love of God and
let me tell you how strong that is cuz
some of y’all think that’s a cliche
statement especially for church but look
what Romans 8:38 says and I am convinced
that nothing can ever separate us from
God’s love neither death nor life
neither Angels nor demons neither fears
for today nor our worries about tomorrow
doesn’t that sound applicable right now
and coronavirus God’s saying my love
will sustain you and anchored you
through all of that he said verse 39 no
power in the sky above or in the earth
below indeed nothing in all creation
will ever be able to separate us from
the love of God that is revealed in
Christ Jesus our Lord
see the love of God gives you hope
through hell if you’re going through
hell right now you got to remember that
God is using everything and if you would
surrender he’ll turn that whole
situation around I hear some people who
are saying I don’t deserve relationship
anymore I’ve broken so many things I’m
so messed up and God said but my love is
so much greater than that and I need you
to hear me say that somebody’s pulling
on me right now I feel it coming
from me right now that the love of God
is the thing you’ve been searching for
it hasn’t been in a person that’s why
you’ve had failed relationship after
failed relationship failed business deal
after failed business deal because
you’re trying to put the weight of
something that they cannot feel on them
but God says come to me all who are
weary all who are heavy laden and I will
give you rest
and today I just feel this as the first
point that the love of God it’s coming
to overshadow all your deficiencies
somebody needs to receive that right now
the love of God is coming to overshadow
all your deficiencies that’s why Joseph
is able to hold on for two years could
you hold on for two years
would you still keep a right attitude
for two years would you still be singing
praise songs after two years would you
still be talking to trust in the Lord
with oh you’re my time be like God where
are you at this is really stupid a year
later this is dumb and I’m bout to gear
man two years later I’m done believing
God has failed me and that’s where many
of you are today
it started autos trust in the Lord with
all your heart and because it took too
much time oh oh I need to come to you
because on our list Oh on our list we
put times next to stuff at 22 I’ll be
doing this and at 27 I’ll be married and
at 31 I’ll have my second kid and at 37
we’ll be planning our retire and God
said uh trust in the Lord with all your
heart trusting I know I’m in your
business right now but your timeline God
stands outside of time and he’s looking
at your purpose and he’s not looking at
the clock he said I’m the God for some
of you that think it’s too late he says
I’m the God that redeems time everything
that the cankerworm thought he stole
from you I can be able to pull that
thing all the way back and all the years
I will restore them somebody needs to
get excited right now because you’ve
been crying over what you thought you
lost but that wasn’t a setback baby that
was a
that God is about to take everything
that looked like a step back and he’s
going to move you forward but it takes
you trusting in him even when it’s off
your timetable rip up your list so then
what happens is one day in the process
of time two years later
Joseph’s just sitting there like god
I’ll trust you
this is trashed but I trust you do y’all
know that’s okay
God is not offended by the statement
this is trash but I trust you see a lot
of us we try to dismiss our emotions
about what we’re feeling and we just try
to stuff them like they’re not real
God is not offended by your reality he’s
in it so you can tell God this is trash
but I trust you it cannot end with this
is trash it has it has to end with I
trust you
it can’t be God I trust you but this is
trash because that last statement is
going to precede what comes after it but
you can say this is trash this is not
fair I never thought I would be here I
never signed up for this nobody ever
told me it would be this hard but I
trust you and when you get to that place
then stuff starts happening look at it
in Genesis chapter 41 verse 8
because Pharaoh begins to have a dream
now I want you to remember in the very
beginning of this story Joseph has a
dream that’s what starts this whole
thing he interprets the dream of two
dudes in prison
the dude forgets about him and now
Pharaoh has a dream and Pharaoh has a
dream that there are seven fat fat cows
and seven skinny cows and in the dreams
the seven skinny cows eat the seven fat
cows and then he wakes up terrified he
goes back to sleep and has a second
dream and he has the dream that seven
skinny bushels of grain eat seven big
bushels of grain and what it was that
Joseph is going to tell him is basically
there’s a famine coming and you need to
prepare for it but he didn’t know that
and so he woke up super disturbed look
at it Genesis 41 verse 8 the next
morning fair Pharaoh was very disturbed
by the dream so he
all four look what we called for the
magicians and the wise men of Egypt when
Pharaoh told them his dream not one of
them could tell him what they meant
finally the King’s chief cupbearer the
dude who forgot about Joseph but was was
in the right place at the right time at
this moment he said today I’ve been
reminded of my failure
he told Pharaoh some time ago you were
angry with me for giving you the wrong
juice and you imprisoned me and you
imprisoned the Baker too cuz the bread
was nasty
one night the chief Baker and I each had
a dream and each dream had its own
meaning there was a young Hebrew man
with us in the prison who was a slave of
the captain of the guard we told him our
dreams and he told us what each of our
dreams meant and everything happened
just as he predicted I was restored to
my position as a cup bearer and the
chief Baker was executed and impaled on
a pole there’s two things that I need to
do right here because I feel like a
pastor in this moment and if you’re new
to church I want to let you know this
God thing is really real ok um the first
thing is that Joseph had a dream and it
was a prophecy of what was going to
happen it was something that God told
the person before it happened with no
evidence that it was going to happen and
and and and Joseph believed it because
it came from God but those dudes it had
to be proved to them what I want to tell
some people right now that the words
that God has spoken over you whether you
believe them or not they’re coming to
past like that when God speaks something
I don’t know sometimes like this is
weird this is spooky stay with me I’m
about to give you a real-life example of
God speaking a word over somebody see
this whole relationship goals thing is
not something that’s just a cool title
for us me and my wife Natalie we went
through hell in our relationship because
nobody gave us a playbook and the only
thing after cheating on her after being
a raggedy raggedy raggedy person after
doing all of these other things and we
were about to go away from the promise
that God called us to the only thing
that held us in the middle of that
season was a word
from God and I don’t know who I’m
talking to right now but this is the
thing you need to start praying for more
than a man this is the thing you need to
start praying for more than a business
this is the thing you need to start
praying for more than everything that’s
been on your list you need to rip up
your list and ask for a word from God
you need to rip up your list and get
confirmation to what God has called you
to do and I remember it I had just
gotten out of high school this was 2006
and God gave me and Natalie a word from
prophetess Pam vennett my godmother
literally we walked in the church late
and we was fooling around and doing all
kinds of stupid things the night before
and we walk in the church look at the
scene and she’s like Michael and Natalie
come to the front I said I’ll shoot they
didn’t call us the Lord did show them
something we bout to be put on blast I
was trying to hold Natalie’s hand she
was like get off of me it was just one
of those things and then God spoke a
word in a moment that we didn’t
understand where we were and what God
had planned for us the palace was coming
but we were in the pit the palace would
be writing relationship goals and our
marriage actually being good and us
helping other marriages and singles all
around the world and it going New York
time bestseller that was the palace but
at that moment we were in the pit and
when you’re in the pit you got to rip up
your list cuz you don’t need what you
want to happen you need what God wants
to happen to come in your life
I found the recording from 2006 from the
Word of God that was spoken over me and
Natalie and I want you to realize right
now what you’re about to hear was a word
from God I had never preached the
message before I had been out of high
school for at least six months and then
God spoke this world that held us
through the whole thing in the pit I
want you to take a listen to this word
right now Natalie and Michael I want you
to come I’ve been seeing this for a long
time God says the two of you were meant
for each other he selected you and put
you together and he says that he’s
speeding up the time of your joining in
union you’re gonna be married a little
earlier not
not earlier then you might think or you
might plant but God says that in the
season that you marry you need to know
beyond a shadow of a doubt everything
that you want and you need to start
saving and putting things away for it
because he says the season and the
months are gonna pass too swiftly so
that means that if you desire to have a
certain kind of dress and you know that
it’s so expensive you need to start
buying that dress now you’re going to go
through a period it’s going to be like a
trial separation god says that the
yearning for each other is going to
increase so much that you’re going to
have a tendency now please hear me in
the light in which I’m saying it to
commit sin because that’s when the enemy
knocks at the door of the hardest when
the yearning and the longing but the
yearning and the lining long you will be
sin to draw you closer together but
closer together for purpose so you must
fight sin with every fiber of your being
you must not allow anything to take you
into it you’re gonna have to make
adjustments in your relationship and
just know that it will be glorious so
God says he’s about to send your names
to the nation’s the nation’s are going
to hear your names already your names
have been in the wind and as you take a
wife Michael it will be that the favor
of the Lord falls upon you and it falls
upon you in a very prosperous and
favorable and powerful way there will be
many albums with your name on them not
just for the instrument but for writing
and arranging many albums I see one
right after another and here this son of
man who is now a son of God your name
will be on secular albums as well as
Christian God says that he is taking
this season to beat everything out of
the two of you that is unlike him so
just expect that if quarrels try to come
up it’s because something was embedded
within there that has to come out so
that it comes out before it can defile
you from within God says he is profess
doing those things concerning you and
bringing it down to a fine tune there
will be messages that you will preach
yes I said preach son that will be so
funny that people will be coming from
miles around to hear them you’re gonna
mix the comedy and you’re gonna mix the
irony and you’re gonna mix the star
witness and the straightforwardness of
God with a prophetic overtone that says
what the future of mankind is you are
not going to be relegated to me to being
married to young people’s ministry all
the days of your life for your ministry
will cross over into every strata every
sphere of society you may not think
woman of God
woman of man that you are going to walk
into the secular arena and make impact
in the business arena but God says yes
he is birthing a business in your belly
you have no idea about it and it’ll be
pretty things it’ll be full of the
artistry that is yours and he is about
to give you an increase in your skills
just when you thought it couldn’t get
any better it’s going to get better
since the Spirit of the Lord we’re going
to be such a powerful woman of God that
when you walk into the galleries of New
York they’re going to turn around and
say who walked in here I know that that
might be hard for you to imagine because
you’re so young but that’s who you are
in the scheme of things in the gospel no
more thinking any less than God thinks
of who you are it’s a brand new day for
you my God my God my God my God if you
don’t see that word in today you not
looking and there were things I had to
cut the prophecy down from like 15
minutes there’s more stuff in there but
I just wanted you to see that a word
from God is worth ripping up your list
and it may not come to you in somebody
saying it like that but you can get a
word from God from God see that’s why
Jesus came is there there didn’t have to
be a mediator there you could go to God
for yourself
that’s why your quiet time is so
important that’s why you praying is so
important because you can be reading a
scripture and then God begins to
download into you when I got the vision
or the list for this building I’m
standing in nobody gave that to me
God said Michael in your quiet time come
right here I’m gonna tell you the spirit
bank event center will be transformation
Church
it’ll be paid for somebody’s gonna
underwrite the whole thing we are
standing in the Word of God
and God is saying do you want what you
want or do you want what I want for you
if you want it I’ll give you a word but
you gotta flip the list and today I’m
telling you that in Genesis 41 verse 13
the testimony that I have like the
testimony that this cuthbert Bearer had
it says and everything happened just as
he predicted and what I’m telling you
today I’m a living witness of why you
should rip up your little list for your
relationships why you should rip up your
list for your family why you should say
God I want you to give me fresh vision
cuz if you get a word from God you’ll
get this testimony too and everything
happened just as he had predicted that’s
why I’m ripping up my list that’s why I
don’t care and that’s why you don’t care
if they Thailand dark and play in the
NBA if they’re a business major from a
community college but they’re who God
called you to be with maybe you don’t
want what you won’t you want what you
need and that’s where God says rip up
your list I feel this thing already hold
on let me get back to my notes cuz I
don’t got that much more time but y’all
ain’t doing that in any way so I’m gonna
keep going here we go
it says rip up your list I want you to
see this cuz Pharaoh is having a
conversation with the cupbearer in the
palace I’ll say it again Pharaoh is
having a conversation about Joseph with
the cup Bearer in the palace while
Joseph is in the prison Pharaoh
is having a conversation about Joseph
with the cup Bearer in the palace while
Joseph is still in the prison
somebody’s talking about you right now
at your next level why you steal in the
pit somebody just caught it by faith
your name is on somebody’s lips why you
feel like you’re at the worst place of
your life and nothing can happen that’s
why God says baby don’t be mad serve the
season that you’re in don’t be trying to
jump steps stay right where I’ve planted
you because somebody is talking about
you right now in your next level of
promotion why you feel that you’re at
the lowest and darkest place of your
life somebody’s about to catch this this
is why you rip up your list cuz your
name is in wounds you’ve never been in
yet
I got a runaround
your name is in rooms you’ve never been
in say with me yeah see the thing that
God is trying to do with you
it’s how you go from a prison to a
palace it’s not because of your good
deeds not because of your good works not
because of how many Instagram followers
you have not because of all your
connections it’s because of your
obedience because Joseph served every
season he was in with joy and grace in
the right attitude God could trust that
when his name came up in a palace he
would have the character to with stayin
at that level and the problem is most of
us the places we want to be our
character doesn’t match for that place
to be Integris and served the season no
matter what it’s called for that’s why
God is using this pit season of betrayal
that’s why he’s using the pit season
that seems like you’re in slavery or a
prison that they God says I’m developing
something in you I’m changing something
in you and if you ever get the character
of the kingdom you can rule in the
kingdom you missed it if you get the
character for the palace then you can
rule in the palace y’all are missing a
y’all ain’t even with me yet see see
what you gotta understand is your name
will precede your presence no matter
where God has taken you they’re gonna
talk about you before they invite you
there
and that’s why you cannot be frustrated
when you don’t see anything working
right now that’s why the song says even
when you don’t see it he’s working even
when you don’t feel it he’s working he
is out there having people have covered
somebodies catching this by faith right
now I feel it your name is in rooms
you’ve never been in what yet and I want
to thank you thank you Holy Spirit I
want you to understand that this doesn’t
just apply to the natural this applies
to the spiritual remember what I just
said I said your name precedes your
presence this is why praise and worship
is so important and why we spend this
long of a time calling him Savior and
King and Lord and Master why don’t we
say that is because when we call up at
his name his name precedes his presence
when he we call out to him he says I
think I hear my children actually
calling out to me is that my name are
they saying me are they saying Jehovah
Jireh are they saying the Lord who will
provide and he comes and inhabits the
praises of his people because we’re
shouting out his name before we ever see
his presence what I’m encouraging you to
do right now God is giving revelation
right here if you’re in your house if
you’re at your job and you need the
presence of God why don’t you start
calling out his name because he comes
into rooms where he’s invited you need
to walk into your business place and say
Jesus is Lord you need to walk into that
bedroom where there’s been so much cold
and bitter disunity and you need to say
father thank you for being peace the one
that is with us I’m telling you call his
name and watch his presence come hey I
feel this thing because God is saying to
many of you right now the reason you
have to rip up your list is because
you’re needed where you’re not known
Joseph was needed in a place where he
was not yet known and that’s why God
says don’t give up now
don’t be stuck to your list at this
moment find my will because you’re
needed input I never knew I was needed
to be a speaker of the gospel of Jesus
Christ I
I was gonna be a music producer that’s
why you heard on the prophecy she said
and you’re going to speak you’re going
to preach and literally at that moment I
started laughing and she you can hear on
the recording she started laughing she
said yes I said preacher yes I said
minister cuz at that point I had never
spoken a message in my life I had never
mom and I’m telling the truth
I had never everything was in music and
God said yeah yeah yeah that’s what you
think it is but riff that list stuff
like riff that up cuz you’re needed
where you’re not yet known I feel that
thing so strong right now there’s
somebody about to give up and God said
don’t give up cuz you’re needed where
you’re not net yet known I think about
the the guy who’s producing our service
right now justice justice went through a
season of trying to be used in so many
different areas and and and and he
didn’t know that here in Tulsa that we
were sitting here literally praying that
God would bring somebody who could be
able to understand my vision and get it
quickly and be able to to execute it and
carry it out and I watched justice this
past week preach to all of our creative
team and I watched the power of God be
used in his personality in his skin
with his dry humor if you ever meet
justice he’s locked in all the time like
when but I I watched what he was doing
and God said see justice he didn’t give
up he stayed faithful and obscurity he
did what I said whether it looked like
betrayal whether it looked like slavery
whether it looked like a prison and I
took him from a prison to a palace and
now he’s leading all of this stuff
because he stayed faithful in the season
where it looked like he wasn’t needed
and somebody needs to hear me say this
you’re needed not where you know you’re
needed not in the position that makes
sense to you but you’re needed right now
where you’re not known I feel that I
could rock that all day I’m telling you
you’re needed where you’re not known
that’s why you got to go to Hollywood
because you’re needed
that’s why you gotta go to government
cuz you need it there that’s why you
gotta cut education cuz you’re needed
there and if you give them now you won’t
be able to see all that God has for you
that’s why it looks like a pit but God
says baby rip up your list my plans for
you are higher than your planes for you
my ways are not like your ways
I got you you gonna have to do something
that may hurt a little bit you’re gonna
have to take everything you thought it
was him rip it up well I’m too old to
start over ass Abram and Sarah when they
thought that God had a plan for them and
they got frustrated about 25 years into
the plan and say you know what he said
we was gonna have a baby but that ain’t
gonna happen let’s help God do his plan
and they had an illegitimate child out
of wedlock and God said even though you
messed up which would you think you
messed up my plan I’m still gonna do
what I said remember what the scripture
says that many of the plans in a man’s
heart but God’s purpose will prevail now
you’re just gonna need extra grace cuz
I’m gonna take care of your mistake and
I’m gonna turn it into your message but
I’m still gonna give you that trial at a
hundred years old so guess what you
should have just ripped up your list
cause I’m preaching and this is gonna
save you so much hurt that’s gonna save
you so much disappointment because you
take away the erroneous the fabricated
expectations and you actually live in
reality with the Holy Spirit and then
you’re not frustrated and that’s what
that’s what Joseph does look at it
Genesis 41 14 I love these four words so
Pharaoh sent for Joseph hold on you mean
that he didn’t have to like network his
way into the next level he didn’t have
to try to find somebody who knew
somebody that knows somebody he didn’t
have to do that he just he was sent for
he said Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once
and he
quickly brought up from the prison I
love it after he shaved and changed his
clothes he went in and stood before
Pharaoh this is why you need to rip up
your list write this down rip up your
list because delay doesn’t mean denied
literally it took two years but would
you would you give up two years for
actually seeing the promise and Joseph
said I’m a patiently wait I’m gonna stay
right here and I was delayed but I was
not denied and that’s why you gotta get
this attitude that it’s found in
Philippians one in six that says and I
am certain I am certain that God who
began the good work within you will
continue his work until it is finally
finished on the day when Jesus Christ
returns somebody you need to understand
that God doesn’t leave anything
unfinished but cannot be real real with
you
it may not be finished with you if you
disobey okay he doesn’t watch you got to
say with me I’m trying to teach you
right now I feel like Professor Mike
right now okay he doesn’t leave anything
unfinished but if you’re disobedient it
won’t be finished with you ask the
children of Israel who he tried to get
to the promised land in 11 days he had
to let two million people die so he
could see what he started
finished with their children and the
saddest thing for all of us right now
would for God to give us a promise that
we fight against to the point where he
has to choose our children imma let that
sit there he promised that he’d do it
for you but you keep your lists
preeminent over God’s purpose and so
he’s saying to you right now you can
have your list and then on my assho
children to do what I ask you to do you
can keep that in I’m too old and I got
this and this happened to me and this is
my
skews or you can say I’m living my list
I’ll start from here I’m 56 years old it
don’t matter
I’m gonna go with God because he can
redeem the time he could have took that
eleven-day journey and put them in the
promised limb but instead it was a
40-year death and then their children
the Bible you can read it he said
anybody under the age of 20 will be able
to see it but all those people who
disobeyed me and created other idols and
created other gods and made sports and
television and money and boats and
houses they made those the gods he said
you’re gonna die with all of that and
then I’ll have to ask your children to
do what I was supposed to do all the
devastation we’re seeing in the world
right now is because fathers didn’t do
what they were supposed to do 40 years
ago all the stuff that we’re saying
right now in families is because the
people before us they passed up the
opportunity to do it God’s Way and they
thought everything that they had was
more than what God had for them but baby
I’m telling you there’s a generation of
about 45,000 people watching right now
that is saying I’m not gonna do this
you’re gonna have the junction like they
did in the Old Testament if you don’t go
we’re not going so we’re ripping up our
lists and that’s what you have to know
when you rip up your list everything
starts to change look at it I love this
story how much time do I got it don’t
matter okay here we go
Genesis chapter 41 verse 15 then pharaoh
said to joseph i had a dream last night
no one here that I pay that act like
they have it together knows what it
means but I’ve heard that when you hear
about a dream you can interpret it now
watch
Joseph’s perspective of his gift and his
talent watch it he said um sir it’s
really beyond my power to do this
everything you heard about me that
doesn’t weigh beyond my power but God
can tell you what it means and set you
at ease the reason why you have to rip
up your list cuz it’s not in your power
God wants to use you beyond you he was
aware that he didn’t have enough to do
what he had done before and what was
talked about him and he knew where
his help came from power belongs to God
I think it was Prophet Hezekiah Walker
who said that power belongs to God he
said that I’m about to stand here but
you gonna actually see God move that’s
what you see every Sunday I love passing
my preaching he’s so relevant he said
I’ll show you my notes before this
service this is not what was on that but
when I stand here I know how I’m
standing not by might and not by power
but it is by the Spirit of God when you
walk into that boardroom the reason you
rip up your list is because the deals
you’re gonna make and the insight that
you’re gonna have and the ways that you
maneuver things it’s not gonna be you
they’re gonna see you but they’re gonna
experience God’s power that’s why you
got up somebody needs to put it in the
chat rip up your list cuz God wants to
use you beyond you when I look at God
taking somebody who barely like to read
and allowing me to write a New York
Times bestseller I step back and say God
you did that that wasn’t me you used me
beyond me and that’s why you got to rip
up your list cuz the greatest thing that
you’ve ever thought about yourself
it’s still lower than the floor of what
God thinks about you somebody needs to
hear that oh I’m up here in a velvet
suit sweating my brains out but the
reason I am is because somebody needs to
hear this right now that the greatest
thing you think about yourself it’s
still below the lowest thing that God
thinks about you and that’s why you got
to rip it up that’s why you think you
made money now that’s what that’s what
you want is that what you want or do you
want to be whole do you want to actually
have health somebody once told me he
said people spent in the first half of
their life acquiring wealth to be able
to then pay for the the care they need
to stay alive to enjoy it
think think about that and God says the
blessing of the Lord make it rich in at
if no sorrow that’s why you got to rip
up your list because God wants to use
you
on you Joseph starts telling him this is
what your dream means it means there’s a
famous famine coming you need to be able
to set aside seven years where there’ll
be plenty and you need to make sure that
we store that up and then we need to go
ahead when it’s in a drought season then
we need to ration it out and we’re gonna
make it through this and look what
happens in Genesis chapter 41 verse 37 I
feel the Spirit of God it says Joseph’s
suggestions were well received by
Pharaoh and his officials so Pharaoh
asked his officials gentlemen gentlemen
come here come here can we find another
anyone else like this man who is so
obviously filled with the Spirit of God
a moment of go he called from magicians
and wise men but when somebody filled
with the Spirit of God walked into the
room he said it was obvious the reason
why it’s not working in the world yet is
because the sons and daughters of God
need to stop trying to to to skip the
process and walk where God has called us
to walk and rip up the list that we made
for ourselves because when we walk into
the places that God has called for us we
rip up the list because it’s gonna be
obvious let me give it to you in a point
rip up your list because obedience makes
you obvious when you’re obedient to God
it’s gonna be obvious oh yeah he don’t
want hey she don’t want oh that’s that’s
where that’s that’s the one that we
gonna do that – he had no qualifications
he didn’t even come from the country and
they said is there anybody who can do
this oh yeah the one does right here in
front of us it’s obvious he’s filled
with the Spirit of God my question to
you is when you walk into places where
people don’t know you’re Jesus is it
obvious that you’re filled with the
Spirit of God Oh
some of y’all look so much like the
people you hate you actually are talking
about yourself when you talking about
others because you’re the same type of
hypocrite and God says could you get
into the spirit
enough to not look like that but look
like me so when you walk into the room
you don’t gotta say and thus says the
Lord when you walk in and you start
doing your working excellence when you
walk in and the way you present yourself
in the way you answer in the way you
listen before you speak and when you’re
not trying to prove nothing that nobody
Josephus didn’t have to prove nothing
cuz he was sick for they already had
heard about him God went before him when
you start living like that it’ll be
obvious you’re filled with the Spirit of
God now Joe’s in charge everything had a
dream went to the pit but now he’s at
the palace in charge of everything and
there was something cuz y’all thought
that I forgot about relationshipgoals in
the middle of this I’m gonna talk about
singleness and and and marriage and I’m
gonna talk about all that but some of
y’all need to get this part of it
because it’s it’s killing you right now
because we could talk about all this and
you just gonna be like yeah that goes
with my listen that goes with my listen
that doesn’t and that doesn’t and you’re
gonna be voting on what God is saying in
these next few weeks and God says what
do you need to do rip up your list and
but look at this
Genesis chapter 41 verse 45 after he
gives them all control it says then
Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name
and he just threw in a wife I don’t know
he was obedient
it made him obvious he got promoted he
was following in the purpose and the
wife just came I don’t know I thought I
was supposed to slow down and find
somebody and be scoping and just
presenting myself God says I’ll bring
the right relationships in the right
place and a lot of people your husband
or your wife is waiting for you in a
place where you’re not at yet God can’t
give them to you in the place you’re in
now because if you get him there what if
what if what if Joseph would have got
his wife in prison they would have been
bound together which looks like a bunch
of our relationships like we found the
person in the wrong place and so now
we’re chained
in the wrong place he needed to find his
woman in the palace where there was
freedom
he had Authority and he got it let me
give it to you at a point you need to go
ahead and rip up your list because the
right person is always in the right
place
I mean some of y’all business right now
and that’s what God wants for every one
of your relationships not just marriage
relationships your business partnerships
God knows that you’re in the wrong place
right now so he can’t bring the people
with the financing he can’t bring the
people that are supposed to be your
partner they can’t find you in that
place y’all be chained in prison but God
says I want you to come to a place of
authority so he’s saying could you rip
up your list I know you thought Joseph
was gonna be or John was gonna be or
Janica is gonna be but no no rip up your
list and let me redefine it because what
you don’t understand is Joseph goes
through this season I’m closing because
I don’t think I can handle no more look
at people sitting back and they tear
like ah you might have to watch this
three or four times but I’m giving you
keys to life this is relationshipgoals
reloaded because every relationship that
you want to have the better we starts
with a better me and if you don’t get
these things you don’t rip up your list
you will never ever become the person
that you need to be to do the purpose
that God’s called you to do
Joseph goes through this season of now
being in charge de literally the second
highest commander in the entire area of
Egypt the famine comes and he is in
charge of the distribution to everybody
now if you think about it the betrayal
that happened to Joseph happened in the
worst way it happened from his family
and I bet there was nights that Joseph
sent back and was like man I got
everything that happened to me the thing
that hurts the most is that none of this
would be happening if my brothers
wouldn’t have settled me out if they
wouldn’t have betray me and that’s how
some of you feel right now some of your
greatest relational problems came from
somebody that was very close to you and
now Joseph is in this position of power
and the lines are out the out the palace
doors of people who need food and he
probably double takes he says no I don’t
give me a second
that can’t be then there’s no way and he
goes back and looks again and it’s the
very brothers who sold them out who are
about to die if they don’t get food this
is gonna take a lot of guts and a lot of
trust and a lot of forgiveness but the
reason you need to rip up your list it’s
because other people’s survival is
dependent on you surrendering to the
season if Joseph wouldn’t have
surrendered and served God at every
season he wouldn’t have been in the
position to save his own family some of
y’all are like I don’t care I would have
let him die they would have just been
out there I would have just made a
mockery of them that lets us know that
the pit didn’t work see the pit is
supposed to remind you of God’s grace
over your own life so if you’re still
trying to hold broken people to how they
hurt hurt you hurt people hurt people
what the pit is supposed to show you is
that all of us are in need of God’s
grace and this is proof that Joseph
really had made it to the palace that
when the people who betrayed him needed
him he was able to give them something
so they could sustain I bet there was
still family drama I bet he probably
didn’t show up to every Christmas I’m
not telling us to be stupid but the only
thing that proves that you really are
healed is when God can use you to touch
those very same people that you messed
over and messed up with I’m right now
people that I hurt and offended in high
school they’re watching this right now
like people that I cheated on Natalie
with cheated on Natalie with and all
this other stuff they’ve been blessed by
the minister why cuz I’m healed
I used the pit the brokenness the nights
addicted to pornography the jacked up
thing I used it and when God got my
character right he took me to a place of
a palace or a place of my purpose and
now I can pray for those people I can
minister to those people I can see those
people and make him be blessed or
sustained and help their marriage in
their house and their family right now
cuz I’m not holding nobody and I don’t
know who you are but I thought the best
way that we end this message that this
would be a time where we would surrender
like your list all of it all the people
all the ideas all the timelines we’re
ripping them
and today I want to pray that no matter
where you are right now if you’re just
getting the dream or if you’re in a
season of being betrayed or it feels
like you’re in prison or you’re in
slavery or you may be in the palace I’m
asking that the God of the universe as
we call on his name his presence would
come into your house into your business
on your jog right now whether you’re
watching this live on rebroadcast the
presence of God is right there where you
are right now
somebody needs to just lift your hands
right now I’m about to pray for you that
the Holy Spirit is coming in father in
the name of Jesus come on whole family’s
hands lifted up I believe that right now
you’re doing heart surgery on all of us
father that today we would rip up our
lists father God and we would rewrite it
with you Father give us a word we don’t
just want a relationship we want a word
we don’t just want finances we need a
word we don’t just want a promotion we
need a word from you and God if we did a
word from you God we will stay faithful
god I thank you that right now there are
people that were thinking about giving
up today I’m asking you that they will
make a fresh commitment to serve this
season that they’re in it is trash but I
trust you
God I thank you right now that every
marriage that has been on the brink and
everybody in singleness who has thought
about leaving
um the faith I think about everybody
who’s divorced or living life without
the loved one right now cuz I thank you
that you’re wrapping your arms around
everybody listening right now you’re
pulling them and aligning them back into
your wheel can I thank you that today we
give up our list and we ask for your
will for our life speak to our hearts
God we trust you we believe you and we
thank you in Jesus name I need everybody

piece of paper right now okay and by the
power of the Holy Spirit I believe that
right now
that this is gonna be a prophetic sign
of us letting go of what has held us to
this unexpected thing that God’s gonna
do at some certain time we’re giving
that up and we’re about to rewrite it
with with God okay so I need you 1 God
is about to do something I feel the
presence of God right now come on I need

count of three I want us to rip this up

then begin to thank God that he’s the
Alpha and the Omega the beginning and
the end and he’s gonna see us through

he’s gonna rewrite your list and then
we’ll be ready for a relationship then
we’ll know how to I’ll give you some
keys and some tools and teach you about
singleness and dating and all that but
first we got to rip up our list if
you’re here and you’ve never accepted
Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior today’s your day to rip up your
list I was I was gonna do it my own way
I had his plan another guy said I’m I’m
interrupting that and I want you not to
just have a good life I want you to live
a god-like
if that’s you right now and you’re
saying pastor I want you to include me
in that prayer and you say well maybe I
don’t qualify hey the dude that you’re
you’re looking at right now even when I
got that prophecy I was still addicted
to pornography I was a liar I was a
manipulator I had bad things in my heart
I was doing things that went against God
and God chose me even with my flaws what
I’m telling you is with every broken
piece of you he still picks you he says
bill right there they’re on my list and
the list that God made he never rips it
up and he wants to put you on another
list today it’s called the list that
sits in heaven the Lamb’s Book of Life
and when you get on this list your
eternity is secure no matter what comes
no matter what goes he said you’re gonna
be with me forever
and somebody needs to know tomorrow is
not promised today is the day of
salvation I don’t care what you did
before this I don’t care what you were
planning and doing after this God said I
interrupted your schedule to be able to
give you an opportunity to choose the
greatest decision that you’ve ever made
and that’s Jesus if that’s you on the
count of three I want you to just slip
your hand in the air I don’t care who
you watching with I don’t care if you’re
in the bed with somebody that you’re not
married to I don’t care what you smoke
or drink God’s saying this is the moment
one God is so proud of you two and so
are we
three if you want to give your life to
Christ come on put your hands up right
there
come on yep now you can put your hands
down you don’t got to confess all the
things you’ve ever done at this moment
God says all you got to do wrote him
according to Romans 10:9 let’s believe
that Jesus came and he died and he rose
again just for you and you’re saved what
does that mean though there’s gonna have
to be some action you’re gonna have to
repent you’re gonna have to turn from
the way that you’ve been going and we
want to help you with that but first
let’s say this prayer all together all
over the world I mean mom that’s crazy

world it’s all over the world and there
are people right now that are getting
saved with hundreds if not thousands of
other people at the
and transformation Church we’re family

pray this prayer say God thank you for
sending Jesus to rip up my list change

Amen oh come on can we clap it up in
every house and every on track I want
you to begin to give God praise heaven
is rejoicing thank you so much for
watching this message and if this has
impacted you in any way I’m asking you
to do a couple of things number one join
transformation nation join us right here
every Sunday gather your friends and
your family and be a part of not just
this moment but this movement the second
thing I would ask you to do is share
share this with your friends your
co-workers people that are around you
because transformation is just one click
away the last thing I would ask you to
do is partner with us financially if
this ministry is impacting your life

consider pray about what you could give
to help us take this message to the
whole world I want you to know that we
love you and your best days are right in
